>>>On Friday I made my prediction Romney 296-242 and I was out on a limb. This morning I've read 2 columnists who followed my lead. Thus, I've determined that I wasn't bold enough. It's go BIG time!
>>>
>>>Tomorrow I'm planning on going off diet and deep into the cellar for a prime grade rib-eye & a stunning cabernet while watching the political super bowl. I have to be up at 3am on Wednesday & I expect I will enjoy a full night's sleep. Here's the way I see tomorrow night. All times PST.
>>>
>>>Swing state polls close :
>>>4pm - Virginia & Ohio
>>>4:30 - North Carolina
>>>5pm - Florida, Pennsylvania & New Hampshire
>>>6pm - Colorado, Wisconsin, Minnesota & Michigan
>>>7pm - Iowa & Nevada
>>>
>>>My night as I see it:
>>>6-7pm - Virginia & North Carolina are called for Romney
>>>7-8pm - I'm enjoying my dinner, Florida and New Hampshire get called for Romney & I'm watching heads explode while flipping between NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC & CNN. Note: My father will likely be grouching because I'm not turning on FoxNews but my house, my rules & I prefer to watch pundits lose their collective minds rather then get tingles up their leg.
>>>8-9pm - Colorado & Wisconsin go to the official 45th President of the United States.
>>>9-10pm - I head to bed
>>>
>>>You'll note that I don't mention Ohio or Pennsylvania, because I believe they'll still be counting by the time Romney wins. ;)
>>>
>>>As I sleep, I predict that Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado & Iowa all go to Romney making the final tally 315-217 in a rout. Now I know that I mentioned 362 before but really that's more of the absolute high end. If I was feeling really saucy, I'd call Michigan & Minnesota for Romney as well, but even an opptimist like me thinks that's a bridge too far. Although, a certain computer prediction which has been fairly accurate in the past has predicted Romney to get 330 electors so...
>>>
>>>In addition, the Reps are going to pick up a couple Congressional seats and the Senate will switch. Specifically the close Senate races will grab hold of the top of the ticket coattails and swing right in Florida, Montana, Nebraska, N Dakota, Pennsylvania, Virginia & Wisconsin.
>>>
>>>There! Now that's a BIG prediction. A big meal, a big election and a solid night's sleep. Who say's I'm not an optimist?!?
>>
>>Whats your Plan B when thing go the other way ?

>I'll have enjoyed a fine steak, a phenomenal wine and head to bed early as I still need to get up at 3am. Aside from some grumbling and/or laughing about how we get the government we deserve, not much will be different. I live in California, being let down by my fellow citizens is routine. ;)

You could cover your cost with a small wager on an Obama victory. Though I understand Betfair are offering longer odds on Mitt which I would say is more accurate that opinion polls.

I heard Tom Wolfe on the radio a few days ago describe government as like a train on a track with the left and right wings shouting it at as it goes by.

Anyway whoever wins you still have the pleasure of living in a fine country.
